our MCN's are put in a nappy pail with a lid as well as a pail liner and lid on...
ummm ahhhhh 2 more GF nappies fell into my cart :rolleyes: paid for with CC...sooo need to hide the CC bill from DH!!!!! thank gawd i am going back to work next week :lol:
although i did get 1 medium and 1 large.... he is 9kgs already....barge bum Jacko!!!!
we use a painters bucket from bunnings it has a lid and is cheap!
Thanks Jess! She's not covered in rolls but is a little chunky.
oh oh oh...I just had a brilliant idea!!!! LOL
I have one of those tommee tippee bins that you put disposables in (of course I just HAD to have it...but could never afford the refills, lol). That will be perfect as my dry pail as the lid seals really well. Yaayyyyy! At the moment I am just using a normal laundry bucket that only has a lid that sits on top and doesn't seal....laundry has been getting a bit stinky.:redface:
Yep...the bucket gets abit pongy aswell Marlene...makes hubby gag!!! lol me..i don't have trouble with it...i have actually taken it out of Jacks room and put it in the bathroom as Jacks room was smelling a tad p issy
each time i empty the bucket I wipe it out with tea tree oil - dont get any pongs :)
maz, not getting that auriel - there is a thread on NA about it
but i am getting two cgr's and two cute tooshie AI2'S :) cupcakes, dragonflies, zebras and butterflies............... lol i dont have anything that has a butterfly on it here!!! hahahahaaaaaaa
not long ago i got some kissaluv size 1's and am regretting it, size 0's are great but the size 1's dont seem to fit her very well. but oh the sherpa!!! i have the super boosters too, looks so cute such a big cotton bottom (in a maz cover of course).
oh well its friday so no fluff anticpiation for a few days - did get some fluff from a wonderful BB lady, very happy with them especially that famed cute tooshie AI2 as seen in the ANN calendar ;)

Kitt3n the tea tree oil is a great idea! What are CGR's its one I haven't heard.
Ok...I just ordered two NN's (couldn't help myself, the Rudd money came today, lol). I got a Mandy Mac and a Sandman. Do both of these need covers, and what sort do I need? I have Maz fleece, Maz minky and BBH PUL are any of these suitable as night covers? i am hoping to use the fleece or minky. I am in the process of getting some wool and having my grandmother knit some longies...but it could be a little while.
Thanks in advance.
2 of maz's covers are on b4b! Kat's onto it!!!
Mel/Kazbah/Anyone else who was involved - THANK YOU for the baby legs...you guys rock :hug:
lol eej...i WANT that green minky maz cover!!!!!
Marlene...ANY of those covers are ok for use at night...BUT i prefer to use the minky or fleece cover as they breath...PUL doesn't... well it makes Jack sweat heaps!!!! in his butt area....
eej...CGR's are as rare as hen teeth!!!!! beautiful nappies but another nappy that is in hot demand!!!
Willow - so you got them? Cool, I hope you like the designs ;)
Willow : :hug: for you sweet!!
I've decided I'm goin to write a letter to the director of the day care centre, explaining nappies and stuff - most of the 6 nappies that they went through in 5 hours today (and btw, she was asleep for 1.5 of those hours!!!) weren't even hardly wet. Craig said it didn't even feel like there was a pee in there - wasn't heavy at all.
so yeah, i'm going to put my letter writing skills for the test. So i'll need help!! lol
Kaz/Mel - I LOVE them! Would you believe they're the exact ones I had in my cart the other day but DS needed me and I never made it to the checkout!
THANK YOU again, you guys are the BEST! :hug:
OMG - didnt subscribe to the new thread! lol
No wonder! I thought you had all been stolen by Aliens - I hadnt got a new post notification all day
Alright so Im in now ;)
SOrry LS, I killed off the last thread late last nite... ;) PM me your addy and I'll send you those TB covers if you still want them.
MArlene - both those nappies need a cover, and the Mandy Mac, if it's the purple nights one, needs a snappi too.
Mel - good luck with the letter, hun. I'll help you if I can! Really, if anyone knows about the business of nappies, it would be you, so they're just being retarded IMO. Heaven help the CCC that challenges the fluffiness!

Hello wonderful ladies and cloth lovers (am I sucking up enough??)
My little yeah whoo hoo is that mum has agreed (tentatively - but if she can't she will find someone who can) to make me some longies and soakers - I might not need them straight away but if she starts now I should have quite a collection by the time I do need them.
I searched online for patterns (I have to provide them for mum that is the one condition oh and provide the wool which is fine) but I thought it best to check in here first to see if anyone has some fav patterns or can point me in the right direction
tk - there was mention of this in the last thread - if you go to nappycino (i think) there is a section for people that are knitting longies and things - there should be some info there to help you out
BG - thank you so much - I thought it had been discussed but I thought it was the thread before the last one so spent a lot of time searching through #169 to no avail - these threads move too quickly he he he
i couldn't tell you exactly where but i know it wasn't that long ago so guessed - scope out nappycino or nappyaddicts - i'm srue there willbe lots of info (including pattern stuff and what wool to use)
Fluff, glorious fluff! Didn't receive any today, I should have 2 lots on Monday (doh - DH's RDO).
Giving the carers a bunch of different nappies at the start of the week, and seeing which ones they chose was interesting. They chose the BP first, then the GK then twinklelilly, then last were widdlewuns - I think they get put off by the lay-in boosters. Will try the same experiment next week ;)
WoHB - snoozywun (charcoal with skulls lining)
tk...it was me who asked in the last thread...I went and checked out Nappycino...they have heaps of info and links to heaps of patterns!
Katones and NaNA...thanks for that. I will use my Maz cover over them and yes, the MandyMac is the purple nights...I have heaps of snappis as I mainly use terry flats when I'm at home.
Tomorrow I should have nappies to fold, Yay!!! Something useful for me to do :lol: (see I am bored, Anyone want to bring basketfulls for me to put together? only if it is easy to tell what goes with what though ;) )
The girls have 7 weeks of full time CC and DH has permission to be 1/2 an hour late for those 7 weeks. The daycare centre opens when he should be at morning parade. Might need to get DH into the habit of packing their bags in the evening to save him some time.
Non nappy related, but saw the physio today and she agreed that a VB is not likely to be possible with my limited pain free space (very limited) and the bully made me try to roll!! She regretted that though. She said there is nothing else they can do management wise atm so review in a month, and stay on the drugs. So Ashleigh, Anna and Sarah, if you want to pop around anytime to make the time go a little faster, you are most welcome!! Who ever thought a house I love so much could be driving me batty from boredom?

Thank you Marlene - I am on NC now but looking through the thread will be so much easier now I know a name to look for!:
Hi Ladies
Sorry I don't have time to reply to everyone individually as I usually try to do.
Been very busy with my mother visiting. Went shopping at 9am, got home at almost 6pm. Hmm can anyone say SHOPAHOLICS! My mum is such a bad influence when it comes to shopping. Phoenix is bought whatever he happens to slow the slightest interest in :rolleyes: grandmas!
Ali - Once my mum goes home I will try my best to come visit you. I always have DS though so he would need to come too of course. I can understand you going batty being stuck in the house!
I hope no-one else commented to me specifically and I missed it? I'm so incredibly sorry if I did.
Don't want to be a snob and ignore my mother, so best be off!
Another big day of shopping tomorrow, I never thought I'd complain about that! :redface:
:lol: We have plenty of toys to amuse him :D And we could get some wedding stuff done too!!
Hmm might have to remind DH about the nappies he needs to hang again.
Sorry for the quick blow-in without saying hello to anyone - it's been too long, I know... But I have a quick question before bed LOL.
How many layers/boosters/inserts should a Snoozywun have? I just got one from B4B and the body seems to have a layer of terry and a layer of fleece, then it came with a terry topped insert that has four layers of bamboo. Is that it? Seems a bit... well... lacking for a night nappy (most of my AI2 night nappies have at least 6-8 layers of bamboo in boosters, plus at least two layers in the body/wet zone). Is that what is supposed to be in a Snoozywun, or did the seller forget a booster or something? Can anyone tell me?
Ta heaps!
Suse - Snoozywuns come with a bamboo booster that you fold in FOUR and then stuff it into the hourglass type one. Make sense? Do you have that part?
Thanks Mel - nope, I didn't get that bit. Will have words with the seller...
PFFFt.. thats so suckful
I'm getting a new snoozywun from Christie made up - so if you can't get one - I'll send you the one of mine that I'll have spare when I get the new one ok?
Hi all,
thought I would pop my head in and say hi, because in three weeks time I should have a little pink bundle in cloth :D. I have a small stash, a pop-in, some HH's, soon to be some BG's, some terries, flannels and wool covers.
What does 'WO*B' mean?
I'm so in love with the pop-in, I think if it fits her well I might complete my stash using pop-ins. Do you think a pop-in boosted with the pop-in night booster would be enough for overnight???
I also love the HH's but I am all thumbs and stuffing them seems complicated LOL (but thanks Mel for the tip).
Its about time you ventured in to here! lol
Whats On X's Bum
Is you DH going to be doing many nappy changes, and are pop ins one size ( I cant remember). Im getting a smallish stash of sized, AIO nappies with aplix/touch take so that DH will change some nappies as theres no way he will go near a one size, a pocket, or snaps.
Hey Candice :)
Welcome :)
Re: pop ins - you'll have to see how much a heavy wetter she is before knowing if that will do you or if you will need a serious night nappy. Besides, you'll be changing her so many times during the night in the first few weeks, that absorbency isn't really a factor :)
WO*B - whats on his/her/aricyn's/mehkelti's (etc etc) butt
Thanks Ray & Mel.
Good to see you here too Ray, LOL.
I wasn't too concerned about NN's until she starts sleeping through the night, hopefully I have a good bubba who sleeps through nice and early.
Ray - pop-ins are adjustable OSFA's, with a double booster (but not a pocket). Pop-in's also have double leg gussets! They have applix and seem really easy to use, and DH has already figured out how to put it on (wahoo, lets hope that lasts!). They are my fav so far.
Might use terries / flannel and covers for the first few weeks. Oh and I have some small bamboo fitted's and wool soakers, and bamboo boosters and microfleece liners. That should get me started til someone enables me further ;).
Ah, you're a sweetie Mel! THanks honey! I've got a Mazzy tri-fold which should go in there quite nicely, and for all I know the seller may have bought it second hand herself and got it like that, so she may not have realised that there was anything missing. So I won't draw any conclusions as to her honesty until I hear back from her, she had a good rep so I'd be surprised if there was anything dodgy going on (I got it really cheap so I'm not too fussed either way)...
That's a bit of a bummer Suse :( Good luck!
Well after a nice sleep in the snoozywun (except where his singlet managed to get tucked in during the night so was a bit damp) I changed him into his monkey starbumz and he kept running up to his dad saying "monkey" which was very cute, he kept pointing at the actual monkey nose :)
WoHb - monkey starbumz
hey girls.
Well today is a sad day. I have been putting the fitteds on Ash, and I have realised that he is almost out of most of them :( This means the holden Ck too. He is wearing it now and he is on the last snaps, I kid you not. didn't get much use out of it :( He's only wore it 5 times.
Is there any other side snappers that are a larger sizing? That CK is a size 2... thinking about it his other CK size 2 is a little bigger but still he is growing out of that fast too... waaahhhh.
It sucks having such a big 7 month old.
Someone off B4B will love me when I list them :(
Poor bub has 2 sores on his bum from the poop. I think it doesn't help when he is teething though.
Mel - try starbumz, they are quite generous in the sizing. Also ecobubs. I've also been using a GNST as a day nappy with covers as they don't last overnight for us.
Mel don't sell them yet! Caleb was enormous as an 8 month old but when he started walking he lost a bit of chubb and changed shape and nappies fitted him again.
Aww Missy Mel - I'd love to have a big 7 month old - instead of a skinny 8 month old.. swap? hehe ;)
Suse - you can still have the booster if you like? I don't mind sending it up. Not quite a good quality bag - but its a start ;)
Not much happening here. My dogs are giving me the absolutely irrits. DH is putting collars on them today - they just won't stop barking.. grrrrr.. nothing works, so this is it. If the collars don't work its bye bye Keenan, bye bye Pepper.

I just want to say I love it when companies put their names on their boosters! It makes it so much easier to match them!!! I did have trouble working out out how my new fluffy bubs went back together but I think I've got it!
